An .htaccess file is a text file that incorporates directives that tell a web server how to act in specific situations. It must be placed in the folder in which these directives should be executed. Loads of script-driven apps use this kind of a file to operate efficiently - WordPress and Joomla™, for instance. You can use this sort of a file with personalized content as well and do lots of things - block an IP address, a whole network or specific Internet sites from accessing your site, set customized error pages that will show up instead of the server-generated ones in case a visitor encounters some error on the website, forward a domain or a subdomain to a different web address, set up a password-protected area plus much more. With an .htaccess file, you'll have far better control over your presence online.
